Mirror Image- inspired by quotes from Oscar Wilde


Image result for picture of a two fold mirror


Mirror Image ~

It is an odd reflection of myself, but to me fantasy is worth more than the real thing. Romance offers more through fancy then it does through realism- very few people would argue this. Love is like reaching your hands across the surface of the water's body, and watching the transparent waves-.

I will always be much more attracted to art, than I will to reality. The strangest thing is that I have determined- and perhaps, it might even be called tragic- is that romance, to me, exists much better in the mind; I am always more attracted to the surface than to the object. I cannot get too close, because when I touch go beneath the surface, the mirror will shatter. It's as though I'm looking into a translucent image which, upon being examined, will break if I get too close- and all of the illusions that I create will cease to have any sort of meaning.

I will always be attracted more to the image than to its counterpart; the love that I am looking into, will always fascinate me more than the object.  I am the type who drifts between the cracks of a mirror, looking into the pain and joy of other people's lives. I will never become part of it, because then I would have to live it, and then I would no longer see it-


the presentation of that beautiful life, I have made, would be gone.
